Display device capable of automatically adjusting display orientation and the display segment arrangement thereof

Abstract

The present invention provides a display device capable of automatically adjusting display orientation and the display segment arrangement thereof. The display device is provided for an electronic product. The display device includes: a segment display device, a position detection device and a decoding circuit. The segment display device has plural display segments arranged on the electronic device. The position detection device is arranged on the electronic product for generating a first status signal or a second status signal based on the electronic product being positioned horizontally or vertically. The decoding circuit connects to the segment display device and the position detection device for receiving a numerical signal and displaying the numerical signal on the segment display device based on the first status signal or second status signal.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a display device and, more particularly, to a display device capable of automatically adjusting display orientation and the display segment arrangement thereof.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]Currently, the electronic product is provided with a display device for displaying some inner information such as the operation channel of the tuner and the operation frequency of the personal computer processor. Referring to the FIG. 1, a tuner 11 connects to a television monitor 12 for selecting program channel, and the tuner 11 has a display device such as the segment display for displaying channel numbers of present program.[0005]Generally speaking, the display orientation of the display device 111 is horizontal because the tuner is positioned horizontally. However, please refer to FIG. 2, user may position the tuner 11 vertically for saving space occupation, therefore, the information ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0007]It is therefore the main object of the present invention to provide a display device capable of automatically adjusting display orientation and the segment arrangement thereof, which enables the display device to display inner information of electronic product in any orientation correctly whatever the display device is positioned in any orientation such as horizontal or vertical.

Problems solved by technology

However, please refer to FIG. 2, user may position the tuner 11 vertically for saving space occupation, therefore, the information displayed by the display device 111 will show reversely, which is very inconvenient for the user.

But, the aforementioned method may increase the cost due to the additional segment display device.

However, the price of the LCD display is higher than segment display device, and the LCD display also needs more complexity driving circuit to perform displaying during operation period so as to increase the cost of the electronic product.
